'I go by Secret Service, military': Trump confirms switching planes in Turkey over Iran threat

BREAKING: Trump confirms his security team secretly switched him to a different plane in Turkey over an Iran assassination threat, saying he now travels 'by Secret Service, military'.

Trump just confirmed the Secret Service secretly switched his plane in Turkey.

The reason, an assassination threat from Iran. He says his security team quietly moved him to a different aircraft during the stop, and that these days he travels, in his words, by Secret Service, military. You can see him here coming off the plane, presidential seal and all, security tight around the stairs.

Threats from Tehran aren't new, Trump has talked about them for years. But a sitting American president getting shuffled between aircraft over an active threat is a different level, and he's the one telling us about it. That's not a leak, that's a message. And it lands while Washington and Tehran are already squeezing each other on every front.

So forget the threat, watch what follows it. Do the US and Iran sit down for direct talks before the year is out?
